Around this time last year we were going into the season with Mike Barrow at MLB, Pierce did a great job given his opportunity last season, but I am hopeful that Barrow can make a full recovery and we can see exactly what we missed from him last year (who's to say he wouldn't have had as good a year as Pierce?).

With Coles gone, I'm pretty confident in Santana Moss as our "go to guy" next year, they guy only caught something like 45 catches last year (for a good avg), 35 of them for FD's I believe, Coles caught 90, with about 52 or so for FDs, so as you can see Santana should help us move the chains a little better as well as giving us the speed missing from Coles last year.

Of the 3 Smoot is the one player I will miss the most, as I liked the guy, but last year we wondered how we'd survive without Bailey ... along came Shawn Springs and life went on in our secondary, now Smoot is gone, who is gonna step up to the plate (possibly Wilds, Harris, a draftee or FA signee), my point is we could again have another great CB addition that makes us forget about the previous holder at that position.
